    It's an hour video, why not just say why you posted it? At first glance it's a religious conference? I'm sure it will have some real legit information.

    Alex Azar, the Health and Human Services Secretary, resigned earlier this week, citing the violent Capitol riot inflamed by President Donald Trump in his resignation letter obtained by NBC News.

    Azar said his resignation would become effective on Jan. 20th — the same date he would have been leaving office once President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. The letter was dated Jan. 12, almost a week after the riot.

    He said that the attack — which left five people dead and many injured — and the president's slow response to condemn it, threaten to "tarnish" the achievements the administration has made over the past four years. In particular, Operation Warp Speed, which led to the creation of two vaccines to combat the raging coronavirus pandemic.

    "The attacks on the Capitol were an assault on our Democracy and the tradition of peaceful transitions of power that the United States of America first brought to the world," he said. "I Implore you to continue to condemn unequivocally any form of violence, to demand that no one attempt to disrupt the inaugural activities in Washington or elsewhere and to continue to support unreservedly the peaceful and orderly transition of power on January 20, 2021."

    "With the pandemic raging, the continued need to deliver vaccines and therapeutics to the American people, and the imperative of ensuring a smooth transition to the Biden Administration, I have determined that it is in the best interest of the people we serve to remain as Secretary until the end of the term," he added.

    The Trump administration has been heavily criticized for its distribution strategy for vaccines. As of Thursday morning, out of more than 30 million vaccine doses distributed nationwide, just over 11 million doses have been administered, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Why when you can just run in, drop a deuce, say its food for thought and provide nothing worthwhile

    All those vaccine doses Trump administration said it had in reserve to issue to states? Turns out they don't exist. States scheduled vaccinations that now have to be cancelled.

    She's become rather controversial initially stemming from her participation in Front Line Doctors' advocation of hydroxychloroquine as a remedy for COVID. She's now also under investigation by the FBI as she was inside the Capitol building on January 6th. I still find it very, very interesting that this coronavirus has brought so much controversy.

    If one of the Trump's run in 2024 they will say it was Biden's fault. It's all in the plan.

    The controversies all stem from Trump trying to make it out to be the next big Democratic hoax.

    A Wall Street Journal article provides further evidence of how poor of a decision Governor Brown is making regarding pushing to open schools and putting teachers ahead of the most vulnerable portions of the population:

    Her decision is going to ramp up the spread of Covid-19 and it is literally going to be the instigating cause for the deaths of hundreds of elderly people.

    The best thing I can say about Donald Trump jr. is he's a weasel. The worst is that he committed treason and ought to get the death penalty but he won't. Why? Because he'll weasel out, hence my nickname for him, The Weasel.

    That's what I thought at first, but us elderly are still among the early ones to get the shots.
    I've had my first shot and will get my second shot next Saturday, January 23 at 12:15 PM.
